Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to determine whether a two-page print brochure that delivers individually tailored educational messages about the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine increases HPV vaccine-hesitant mothers' intentions to have their adolescent daughters vaccinated against HPV.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This will be a randomized controlled intervention trial for HPV vaccine-hesitant mothers of adolescent (ages 11-15 years old) girls. Mothers will complete a three-item measure that assesses their baseline intentions for having their adolescent daughter vaccinated against HPV. Mothers will then fill out a short, computer-based survey that assesses demographic factors, prior experience with HPV-associated illnesses and views about a variety of potential barriers to HPV vaccination. Following the survey, the intervention group (40 mothers) will receive a two-page print brochure that uses their survey data to generate the brochure such that it addresses each mother's top three concerns about the HPV vaccine. The control group (40 mothers) will receive a generic, two-page brochure that is similar in appearance to the intervention, but contains only untailored, generic information about the vaccine. HPV vaccination intention will be assessed a second time after reading the brochure, using the same three-item measure as before the survey. The vaccine administration records of the adolescent daughters of these mothers will be accessed three months after mothers' participation in the study to assess whether any HPV vaccine doses were provided.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tailoring

Individuals assigned to the experimental group will receive a two-page brochure tailored based on their responses to the survey.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Computer-based tailoring system

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Both the intervention and control groups will use a computer-based tailoring system to respond to survey questions. The computer-based tailoring system will produce messages for a two-page educational brochure based on participants' responses to survey questions. Only the intervention group will receive this brochure.

Untailored information

Individuals assigned to the control group will receive the CDC vaccine information sheet that is standardly provided.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Computer-based tailoring system

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Both the intervention and control groups will use a computer-based tailoring system to respond to survey questions. The computer-based tailoring system will produce messages for a two-page educational brochure based on participants' responses to survey questions. Only the intervention group will receive this brochure.
